78 kg x 4mcg/kg/min = 312 mcg/min.
312mcg/min x 60min/hr = 18720mcg/hr which equals mg= 18.72 mg/hr.
18.72 mg/hr x 250mL/400mg = 11.7 (12) mL/hr the running rate.

See, gay math problems that round like that shouldn't be allowed. It should be exact fucking answers or the question should ask "which dose is the closest to what the patient is receiving". Do enough rounding with shit and all of a sudden #s can get way off in a hurry.
